SA18N10W-30

Attenuators Overview

The SA18N10W-30 is a fixed attenuator manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for RF applications up to 18 GHz. It provides a nominal attenuation of 30 dB with a 50 Ohm impedance. The device features N Male (Plug) to N Female (Jack) connectors and is rated for 10 Watts of power handling. It utilizes a heatsink body construction to manage thermal loads effectively. The unit operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Attenuators Feature Summary

• Heatsink body construction for enhanced thermal management
• Fixed 30 dB attenuation across the operational frequency band
• Robust N-type connector interface for secure signal transmission

Attenuators Applications

• RF signal level reduction in test and measurement setups
• Signal conditioning in wireless communication systems
• Attenuation in high-frequency circuit testing environments

Attenuators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific connector gender configuration against project requirements, as datasheets may list variations such as N Male to N Female. Confirm that the 10 Watt power rating aligns with system peak power levels. Ensure the operating temperature range meets environmental constraints. Check current availability status as supply conditions may vary.

Attenuators Selection Notes

Select this component when a 30 dB fixed attenuation value is required at frequencies up to 18 GHz. The 10 Watt power rating suits moderate power applications compared to higher-rated models. The N-type interface is appropriate for standard coaxial connections. Consider the heatsink design if thermal dissipation is a critical factor in the installation environment.
